Tommy Caldwell Training Routine

Tommy Caldwell is arguably the world’s best big-wall free climber, and he focuses much of his attention on imposing unclimbed lines on Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan.

How does Tommy stay in shape for his yearly attempts on this futuristic route? We took a trip to Tommy’s house in Estes Park, Colorado to find out.
